Maturity stage TRL 9 / CRI 3-4 - Commercial Scale Up / Multiple commercial Applications

The problem of plastic foams is present in the winning of raw materials, the shipping over long distances of styrene, the blowing of the foam with pentane gas which is 20 times more potent than CO2. And finally, during the use and after life of styrofoam, it causes pollution, health risks and damage to nature. Now, instead of this toxic and problematic plastic packaging foam, there is Mycelium Packaging. This packaging innovation which has most of the properties of its plastic alternative, is not damaging to the planet, completely safe for humans, and made with only natural fibers and mycelium. In the harmony of fibers and mycelium, the living mycelium plays the glueing role, while the fibers offer nutrition to the mycelium and give strength to the end product. After a short growth period of just 6 days, that can take place in any form, they mycelium is killed in an oven at 80 degrees, making it an inert (dead) product, ready to be used as protective packaging.
